Dec. 30, 2008 - Entering a contest!
Well this entry is not going on the mailing list because it's not really about our family but I want it out "there" anyway! It's being hosted by Tia whose blog is:Sagerat Scribbles
There are a number of things that I am supposed to do here that I'm not sure if I'll do correctly--techie stuff!
We'll see. If I win, I get a popcorn set (whoo hoo!) and if I don't....well, not sure that my ENTIRE life will crumble to pieces!
You do have to read all my answers though because I mention some pretty amazing people that I know and I wish you knew them too!
Here are the questions and answers!
1. Why did you start a blog?
To keep family & friends updated
2. What do you hope to accomplish with your blogging?
The truth? Secretly, some incredible, Godly publishing company would come across it and want to feature it in a magazine or something...even though I rarely have seriously profound spiritual insights..to get these, visit my friend's blog: An American in Pretoria She is amazing.. we used to go to church together when we were in our 20's and her encouragement in the Lord got me through college!).I just write and if God pokes something into it that reaches someone the way He wants to reach them...then at least I know that I am the vessel that He wanted me to be at the time I wrote it!
I will probably never be published "for reals" because an editor would scratch everything I said due to poor clauses and grammatical disagreements, etc....but if you took all those away, my writing wouldn't be MY writing! Oh well....
3. Have you found that you don't post as much as you did when you started?
hmmm... I go in spurts...also I think I started blogging before my 2nd child was born and now I have 3! So, I do have lots to say...but not lots of time to say it....
4. If yes, why not?
see #3
5. How important are comments to you?
I love comments--more people to talk to!! I always have two special and dear friends who comment all the time ( Hi Nancy and Jessica!). I suppose that if I want to see more comments I need to write more, eh?
6. Do you ever find your self wishing that people would not always leave comments that agree with you?
I have only ever had one person leave a disagreeable comment...but it wasn't the disagreeable part that inspired me to delete it, but that it was written in a downright tasteless and rude manner...I think there was some name calling or something. I know that kids ( bigger than mine) sometimes read random blogs and I didn't want the language used in the comment to be seen on a blog that is supposed to be glorifying to God.
7. Do you comment on other people's blogs a lot, sometimes, or very little?
If I AM reading someone's blog...I do try to comment...lots of times it might be to ask a tech. question like "how did you do such and such"..I guess that when I am looking at a blog that has something that interests me and I have time to jot down a comment , I will.. but I don't always have time to read other's blogs!
8. What determines why you don't post a comment on someone else's blog?
Time.
9. What determines why you do post a comment on someone else's blog?
Again, time. And if they say something that makes me laugh or if I have a question about something they've done or a pic that they've posted.
10. Do you have more than one blog? where?
I started one somewhere else--I think blogspot) sometime ago because I didn't have enough time to devote to learning all the geek stuff for this site, but I prefer this blog host becuase there is a focus on Christ that is lacking with other blog hosting sites. I don't even know the name of my other blog anymore!
11. Do you read random blogs either off of random blogger or friends lists?
For content, I read off of friends' lists, but if I want to see different styles, learn new geek tricks, I'll cruise through random blogs until something grabs my eye. I am really impressed with the people who do their own templates and stuff---way beyond my head! If I could do that in a pinch without having to know millions of codes, etc... I'd do it, but it doesn't seem to work that way!
So , there! Now I have to go find some "Mr. LInky" and create a permanent link and I have NO idea what that is .. |
